Pilot study program finds success, seeks expansion By Elise Anderson News Editor
S
tarting in November, the college will be training students to become Supplemental Instruction leaders after the successful run of the SI model in two pilot classes this semester. Supplemental Instruction Peer Assisted Study Sessions are being utilized in two sections: Professor Mary Newberg’s Principles of Chemistry I course and Professor Jim Bradley’s Precalculus I course to test the model’s effectiveness in getting students to better understand class material and improving test scores. Bradley believes that the program will benefit students who participate in the sessions. Newberg says that through the sessions students will learn skills that they can apply to other courses. Math instructor Robert Cappetta is also applying a modi-

SI leader Ana Krstic fied version of the SI model to his classroom. Cappetta said he is, “letting study groups grow organically,” but will then “intervene strategically, teaching them strategies for more effective studying”. In Supplemental Instruction an SI leader prepares and directs the SI session, an interac-
tive, activity-based study group that covers class material, according to the model. The model also states that the SI leader is supposed to be a former student who was successful in the class. However, the college is testing the pilots with paid tutor Ana Krstic, enacting the role of the SI leader for this semester. The sessions are not the same as tutoring, Academic Support Coordinator Rae Maslana tells the Courier. A key distinction is that in SI sessions, the SI leader attends all classes with the students that come to the sessions, according to Maslana. Another difference is that SI targets “historically difficult” courses that are known to be hard for students and does not target the students themselves, Maslana said. Also, Krstic “prepares a session like a teacher prepares a lesson plan,” instead of just answering questions students have, Maslana said.
To prepare for these sessions, the SI leader meets once a week with the class instructor to develop a plan on what to cover and how to cover it, according to Krstic. In the sessions, students are shown “how to study and what to study,” Krstic said. She told the Courier that regular SI sessions are used to go over the most difficult things from class, but that sessions before exams cover the most important concepts. Connie Cosgrove, a student of Bradley’s 1431 math class claims that the SI sessions are “very helpful,” … “She (Krstic) expands on what we are working on.” Cosgrove’s classmate concurs saying that they “get more interaction than in class, working with fellow classmates,” in the sessions. Maslana believes that so far attendance has been “healthy,” with 13 students on its best day and two students

“District 502 is one of the areas that has the greatest growing need in Illinois,” Dean of Continuing Education/Extended Learning Joe Cassidy said in his English-asa-Second Language program report at the Sept. 15 Board of Trustees meeting, in response to growing concern that administration was ignoring the program’s needs. According to Grant Compliance Manager Daniel Deasy, enrollment for ESL in Fiscal Year 2010 for unduplicated students was 5,238, which then decreased to 4,480 in FY 2011. The decrease in enrollment is said to be caused in part by “less flexibility in the workplace,” according to Cassidy. The ESL program offers over 200 sections each term, with flexible scheduling and a choice of eight, 12, or 16-week courses for students, with 2530 locations possible through a variety of partnerships that include community centers and churches. Cassidy told the Board that the program’s enrollment, “is a concern to all of us.” In 2010-2011, the program faced a 14 percent decline in enrollment, according to Cassidy, but that it mirrored the state average. According to 10th day figures, enrollment has decreased by 40 percent, however if looking at unduplicated students, “we’re only down about 10 percent,” Cassidy said. He states accountability as being critical to “students in the classroom, community members, to the funders at the state and federal level, as well as to the tax payers of this area.” The program is seeking to

on its worst. Newberg claims that the divide between her classroom and where the sessions are located is contributing to lower attendance, in regards to her students’ attendance of the SI sessions. Newberg hopes that SI will continue if the numbers for attendance increase when construction is completed. Dean of Learning Resources Lisa Stock said that they will be analyzing how students are performing at the end of the term, most likely through a grade comparison from previous section scores. According to Stock, the goal is to get the core set of 20 faculty members together to de-
termine what class they should expand the program into next. Stock also said that on Oct. 18, both Newberg and Bradley will be doing a “break-out session” at the inservice day for those interested in the program. The SI program originated from the University of Missouri at Kansas City, according to the SI Supervisor Manual constructed by the Curators of the University of Missouri. Maslana said she is, “very excited about this pilot. It’s off to a great start.” She feels that the program can only get better next semester.

EHS department recognized for environmental achievement By Elise Anderson News Editor
Janet Haff (left) from the Environmental Protection Agency presents National Partnership for Environmental Priorities Award to Trisha Sowatzke (midde) for the Environmental Health and Safety Department’s achievement standing beside COD Board Chairman David Carlin (right) who recognized the achievement at last week’s Board meeting.
Key Points of Supplemental Instruction:
Hazardous Materials Coordinator Trisha Sowatzke was recently recognized by the Environmental Protection Agency after her department, Environmental Health and Safety, met its goal of eliminating 1.5 pounds of mercury from the Berg Instructional Center renovation area, improving the safety of construction workers on campus. “It was a great honor to receive recognition from the United States Environmental Protection Agency for fulfilling the goals that we had established under the National Partnership for Environmental Priorities program,” Sowatzke said. The program, Sowatzke said, “encourages members in their efforts to reduce and/or eliminate the use or release of priority pollutants by setting and meeting goals associated with source reduction, recycling and recovery opportunities.” The EHS Department’s work was recognized at the Sept. 15 Board of Trustees Meeting, where Sowatzke was presented with the NPEP award by Janet Haff from the United States Environmental Protection Agency. “She (Sowatzke) was proactive,” Haff told attendees of the Board of Trustees meeting. Haff labeled mercury as being “very dangerous” and qualified the EHS’ work as a “huge removal.” The department’s goal was to eliminate 1.5 pounds of
mercury by December 2011, according to the EPA website’s spotlight on the college’s accomplishment. The project lasted from March 2010 to June 2011, according to Sowatzke, where “over 30 sink traps, sections of fume hoods or duct work were removed and sent for mercury reclamation,” according to the EPA website. The department “created objectives and guidelines to be followed as the BIC renovation activities began in areas which previously held laboratories known to use mercury containing devices and heavy metal compounds,” Sowatzke said. The project objective was to search for mercury in all drain traps, associated piping and in the fume hoods of laboratories which were scheduled for renovation, according to the EPA website. Any contaminated areas would be professionally cleaned or removed by a hazardous material waste contractor prior to renovation or demolition activities, according to the EPA website. “Your environmental leadership has demonstrated that chemical management can improve an organization’s environmental and economic performance,” stated a June 1 letter from the EPA to the college. “As this project concludes the College of DuPage EHS department looks forward to working with the USEPA in order to evaluate and address additional goals,” Sowatzke said.

Student input is vital to ReSET success President Robert Breuder’s initiative to enhance students’ experience on campus is missing the most important ingredient. As the new presidential commission, Reconceiving the Student Experience Team, nears its October deadline to submit final recommendations to Breuder, a lack of student input will be detrimental to its success. Twenty-three faculty, staff and administrators have been meeting to discuss improving and enhancing the student experience at the college. They sought to gain the student perspective through focus groups, student surveys, utilizing the “Secret Shopper” technique, and by interviewing high school students. It’s good to see the college focusing on the student experience, however the sheer lack of student representation on ReSET will negatively impact the results and success of the commission. There was only one student focus group held in August. The result was a variety of themes that culminated from a small
‘‘
sample of 14 students. The college can’t expect to receive a diverse outlook or wide array of student needs from only 14 new and returning students, a broader, more diverse perspective is needed. ReSET can’t rely on administrators and staff playing mind reader off tables of data. ReSET also collected surveys from students. Surveys are good, but are in no way comparable to the opportunity to have students present for ReSET meetings. Another of ReSET’s methods was utilizing the “Secret Shopper” technique. The technique involves paying a college student to utilize college services and see where improvement is needed. Hiring a student to perform this task is a waste of money when ReSET has a cluster of student leaders to share their experiences in an open and free forum with members of the commission. Why hire a mercenary when you

to be heard and valued in important administrative commissions and decisions. Breuder said in an interview with the Courier that one of his top three goals this year is to implement the recommendations from ReSET. However, if he wants positive results, he needs to show faith and respect by placing students on the commission. Working with student leaders, SLC and other clubs on campus would be the first step to getting more students’ opinions into the ReSET think-tank. If the ReSET commission wants to be successful and actually improve the student experience at COD, then they should seek out the student perspective, have students sitting on the ReSET commission and communicate with SLC to better understand student needs. Student opinion needs to be heard on the table, in reaction to ideas produced by brainstorm sessions of the commission, for ReSET to be effective in improving the student experience.

have able volunteers? Student Leadership Council wasn’t even approached about participating in the ReSET forums. SLC operates as the student body’s voice for the college, and the fact that they were not solicited is confusing. Enrollment Services have been visiting high schools to gather feedback from potential future students, teachers and counselors. Although it may provide insight into what high school students look for in a college, priorities and needs change in the college environment. If administration wants to improve retention, resources should be better spent on obtaining returning students’ feedback. Without strong student representation on the ReSET commission, these other methods of assessing the student experience will not accurately unearth the improvements needed to make COD a student-friendly college.

Applying i nnovation COD professor adds self-created application into curriculum By Shawn Mukherji Graphics Editor Students struggling with various speech giving techniques and skills can find helpful tools right in their pockets because now, there’s an app for that. COD Speech Professor Marco Benassi began implementing two innovative iPhone apps that he created into his speech classes this semester. “I wanted to branch into new ways of presenting material to students in a modern and exciting format that they are used to,” Benassi elaborated. The app which is named, ‘UmLikeYknow’ provides tips and strategies to help improvement in speech delivery using seven keys such as avoiding the use of nonwords, maintaining eye contact, and vocal variety, all demonstrated with video examples. By defining their personal image, students can focus on addressing specific concerns, setting goals and self-reviewing speeches. The ‘Um Counter’ tallies the

amount of non-words like “um”, “uh” and “like” during a speech. Every time a nonword is used, a push of one of the speech bubbles creates a beeping noise that makes the speaker aware of the frequency of usage and helps reduce it. “I really like using apps in class, it makes it easy and convenient as I can take it anywhere with me to study,” said speech student Lindsey Jafferali. As an iPhone user, Benassi aimed to bring the cost effective technology into the classroom. “Instead of students buying text materials, I can simplify those costs by giving them something that’s more readily available,” he said. For those who don’t have iPhones, Benassi makes the information accessible online
through Blackboard. “The best thing about it is instead of paying for an expensive textbook, you only have to pay for an app, which is way cheaper,” added student Matt Hammer. It took a year in development as Benassi funded and worked with an iPhone app developer and graphic designer to condense the app. “The greatest challenge I found out was how simple I had to make it. We simplified, simplified and simplified,” he said. In the future, Benassi hopes to add features such as content organization, integration with the official website, www.umlikeyknow.com, allowing students to send and receive information and voice recognition for the Um Counter. Currently, UmLikeYknow and Um Counter are available on the Apple marketplace for $1.99 and $.99 respectively, but Benassi is working towards making the app available on other outlets like the Droid marketplace. “The ultimate goal is to see the widespread use of this tool as it significantly helps students,” Benassi said.

Birthday blues barbecue
MAC Celebrates 25 years with music legends, good food By Matt Mertes A&E Editor The aroma of barbecue lingering in the brisk air, a collage of the leaves on the trees complimented by the sunset and the rhythmic, coffee shop blues sound of Katherine Davis accompanied by blues pianist Erwin Helfer set the scene as the McAninch Arts Center celebrated its 25th birthday on Sept. 17. The event was catered by True Catering Cuisine, who provided guests with a menu including: pulled pork, briquette, and pulled chicken sandwiches. For guests of legal drinking age, Two Brothers Brewing Co. provided patrons with cold beer or wine to complement a succulent meal. After sunset, when things cooled down, I Have a Bean provided attendees with warm beverages like coffee, lattes and hot chocolate. As the sun went down and Davis finished her set, Stephen Cummins, Director of the MAC gave a brief shout-out to everyone who helped put together the event. “The arts are alive and well at the MAC tonight,” Cummins said as he concluded his speech. Guitarist Dave Specter jonied by bassist John Kattke took the stage shortly after Cummins wrapped up his speech and gave a performance with a good old electric, Chicago style blues sound. During his set Specter gave a farewell speech to the late Willy “Big Eyes” Smith, a long time friend of Specter’s and the drummer for Muddy Waters. Specter continued his performance wailing away on his guitar with Kattke providing a steady jazz beat and Helfer pounding away on both piano and organ providing a fusion amongst the instruments. Later in the night, Grammy Award nominated guitarist and vocalist, Jimmy Johnson, joined Specter and Helfer on stage providing deep, raspy vocals that complimented the set. Johnson‘s stage presence kept the audience on the edge of their seats eagerly anticipating the next verse. The evening concluded with Specter, Kattke, Helfer and Johnson playing one last rhythmic and fast paced song to honor 25 years of the MAC.

Getting jazzed about WDCB radio By Matt Mertes A&E Editor
Chicago has always been famous for its four seasons, pizza, hotdogs, comedy and most importantly, jazz. However, until July of 1977 Chicago was deprived of a radio station dedicated solely to jazz music, until WDCB Public Radio was created. “There was a significant need for the two formats (jazz and blues) in the Chicago land area,” Ken Scott, Director of Marketing and Fundraising for WDCB Radio said. “The two powerhouse stations, WFMT and WNIB, broadcasted classical and news but
rarely touched jazz.” Broadcasting out of room 156 in the OCC Building, WDCB is the only jazz station in Chicago. Aside from the two genres, WDCB also broadcasts local news for the western Chicago Suburbs. For the past 20 years, the station has worked with the McAninch Arts Center in producing live shows. WDCB Jazz at the MAC showcases big name artists and groups along with WDCB Jazz Café Live at the MAC which is more focused on guitar based music and is all about giving local jazz musicians a chance to perform live. The Café sets are recorded
and aired on the station at a later date. They will also bring successful jazz artists in from time to time for live interviews. In the past, WDCB has also featured student jazz artists at the MAC during what is called Jazz @ Sunset. However, with the construction of the MAC these events have been postponed until the construction of the MAC’s amphitheater is finished. Radio or even clerical internships are offered through WDCB. Interns receive top quality experience through the station. Phil Zuber enjoyed his time there so much, after interning
History repeated: By Matt Mertes A&E Editor
History Professor William Whisenhunt has recently edited his latest book, Marooned in Moscow: The Story of an American Woman Imprisoned in Soviet Russia. Originally published in 1921, the autobiography douments Marguerite Harrison’s time spent in a war torn Soviet Russia as a journalist and an undercover spy and finally to her eventual 10-month imprisonment in the infamous
Lubyanka prison. Whisenhunt’s edited edition features numerous text updates, hundreds of footnotes, never before seen photgraphs, Russian and American documents and an introduction drafted by Whisenhunt. Whisenhunt first began editing and writing 10 years ago with this being his second edited book. He has also edited the book Russian and Soviet History: From the Times of Troubles to the Collapse of the Soviet Union whom he co-edited with Steven Usitalo.
through high school and volunteering during his time at Columbia College, he returned and was hired on to the staff. Although the station is dedicated to jazz during the daytime, when the evening strolls around, WDCB becomes the number one station in Northern Illinois for folk and acoustic roots music. WDCB radio is broadcasted worldwide at www.wdcb.org, locally at 90.9 fm, or through the free app available at the app store for any smart phone.
“There was a significant need for the two formats in the Chicago land area.” KEN SCOTT, DIRECTOR OF MARKETING AND FUNDRAISING
History Professor edits well known 1920’s autobiography of american spy
Whisenhunt is the author of two novels as well: In Search of Legality: Mikhail M. Speranskii and the Codification of Russian Law and A Russian Paints America: The Travels of Pavel P. Svin’in, 1811-1813 which he co-wrote with Marina Swoboda. His passion for history itself is evident within his classes and books. “It is the nature of being a historian to go back and find interesting history people don’t know,” Whisenhunt said. “It’s interesting to bring
back things from the past that people forget about.” Whisenhunt feels that he is a man fueled by overlooked information that has shaped the world we live in. Whisenhunt believes the burden of this work is keeping the original information factual but making it more comprehendible for the modern day audience. Whisenhunt said he favors this book specifically because it is such a unique situation in history. First off, a woman doing anything in the 1920’s
was just unheard of, on top of that she was a spy, and to be a female spy and make it out of Soviet Russia alive is simply a miracle, according to Whisenhunt. The original work by Harrison was also published a decade prior to the majority of documents regarding Soviet Russia. Whisenhunt will be speaking about the autobiography on September 29th at 7:00 p.m. at the Glen Ellyn Public Library located at 400 Duane Street, Glen Ellyn.

With a campus facelift in the works, will students ever see a final product? Story & Photos by Chris Johnson Photo Editor From the ongoing projects to the BIC to the renovations on Compass Hill signs of construction can be seen campus wide. With work planned through the 2012 school year, an end to construction is something few students will be here long enough to see. One of the biggest projects causing headaches on campus is the rennovations taking place to the Berg Instructional Center. The building is undergoing a 90 percent renovation and includes
classrooms, labs, and faculty and departmental offices. Just a few other projects currently in the works are the continuing expansion of parking areas, the renovations on the SRC, and the overhaul of the MAC courtyard and Compass hill.

Reiver’s dominate Chaps on both sides of ball Chaps never able to settle on offense, commit several key turnovers, lose first game 52-7 By Josh Tolentino Sports Editor
T
he Chaparral football team went in with their heads high holding a 3-0 record last Saturday against the nationally ranked Iowa Western Revivers, however the Revivers had different plans for them winning 52-7. “We knew what they did to Central last week, and my guys wouldn’t let that happen again,” Iowa Western head coach Scott Strohmeir said. “When its 34-7 at half, you might lose a little focus, for the most part I thought my guys kept their focus all four quarters.” After last week’s comeback against Iowa Central, the Chaps could not repeat history as they lost their first game of the season at home. From opening kickoff to the final kneel down; the Chaps struggled on both sides of the ball. On the opening kickoff, the Chaps had missed tackles that allowed a 45-yard Reviver return along with a facemask penalty allowing the Revivers to begin the game on

Waters was able to pick apart the Chaps secondary with ease. However after no interceptions through Iowa Westerns first three games, the Chaps were able to pick Waters off twice early in the first quarter. With momentum off COD safety Joshua Hurst’s interception, Chaps running back Darnell Ratcliff ran right up the gut and put the Chaps on the board for the first and only time at the beginning of the second quarter making the score 7-14. Things went downhill after Iowa Western allowed a Chaps score. “It’s good that Jake’s (Waters) first mistakes came in a game like this,” Strohmeir said. “It’s better for him to

Triton hand Chaps first loss of season By Josh Tolentino Sports Editor The COD men’s soccer team’s undefeated streak came to an end last Wednesday against rival Triton Trojans 2-1. The Chaps came into the rivalry without Head Coach Jim Kelly for an undisclosed reason. The team struggled without Kelly and came up short to the Trojans. The Trojans came into the game with a great amount of intensity and battled with the Chaps the whole game. Throughout the match, rough
play was displayed from both teams and several fouls and yellow cards were issued. “We haven’t seen a defense like them all season long,” Forward Greg Efiom said. “They pushed us to our limits and we came up short.” Despite doubling the Trojans in shots on goal 10-5, the Trojans were able to make use of their small chances to hand the Chaps their first loss of the season. “They took us out of our game, it was pretty unusual because it’s the first time its happened,” Forward Sergio Realegeno said. “They picked
apart our offense and we couldn’t capitalize on our chances.” Triton pressured the ball with perseverance and determination to not allow the Chaps to score. The first half was evenly played as both teams entered the half 0-0. “I told our guys at half, we had to go into the second half thinking it was a playoff game,” Triton coach Peter Silwa said. “We had a great scouting report on their two star forwards, we trapped

‘dominate’ from page 17 throw a couple interceptions in a game where the score is 52-7 rather than a close game.” Iowa Western established its running game early and often. Their trio of running backs totaled four rushing touchdowns on the Chaps defense, tearing apart the front seven linemen. The Revivers went on a roll after allowing the Chaps only score of the game. Waters led the team into halftime 37-7. The Revivers knew what Quarterback Vega and the Chaps did to Iowa Western and assured that wouldn’t happen again. Going into the second half, the Revivers never let up. At the beginning of the second half, returner Holton again decided to attempt to run the ball back from inside the end zone and put the Chaps at the two-yard line. “Dumb mistakes, we can’t be making stupid mistakes against a great football team like them,” Thomas said. “The score isn’t my concern, it’s our
mistakes. They definitely exploited our mistakes today.” After being awarded NJCAA National Player of the Week, quarterback Bobby Vega was pressured by the Reviver defensive line all game long. The Reviver front four pressured Vega into throwing a career high of four interceptions. “I had a lot of bad throws, there were a lot of drops, we played bad on both sides of the ball,” Vega said. “We went into the game big headed and it hurt us.” Vega finished 13 of 30 completions with a season low 43.3 completion percentage. Vega threw for just 78 yards with four picks and no touchdowns. Vega’s season completion percentage lowered from 75 percent to 63 percent. “The front four got Vega out of his passing game. We studied their three favorite plays all week long,” Strohmeir said. “They had no answer for our pressure so credit the defensive line.” Iowa Western showed their dominance on the field, ex-

Vega said. “Stupid stuff, its just things you learn in peewee football. We won’t let it happen again. We’ll be back next week.”
The Chaps look to bounce back from the lopsided loss tomorrow, as they head back on the road and travel to North Dakota Science.

them every possession.” The Trojans picked apart the Chap’s offensive game plan of playing the ball wide and never got the ball in the box. Triton defenders pressured Chaps forwards Josh Bennet, Efiom, and Realegeno into situations they’ve never been accustomed to. After allowing a Triton goal five minutes into the second half, the Chaps felt the pressure. Midfielder Angel Escobedo weaved through three Trojan defenders and finally found the back of the net as he blasted the ball past the Triton goalie tying the game 1-1. After being awarded with a corner kick, Coach Silwa instructed his players a set play. The play worked to perfection as the Trojans crossed the ball into the box and headed the ball past Chaps keeper Jovanni Castanon to go up 2-1.
The Chaps fell into a shell and were unable to make a comeback. The Trojan defense was relentless and kept pressure on all Chaps forwards. “After they scored the second goal, the whole team panicked,” Efiom said. “We worried about the clock more, and we didn’t play up to our potential.” “Their forwards were our priority. We basically played with just one striker and all defense,” Coach Silwa said. “They couldn’t handle situations where we triple teamed them. Credit to our defense.” The Chaps now 10-1, hope to bounce back from their first loss of the season by practicing hard this week. “It’s in the past now, we have to forget it and move on. We’ll get them back.” Efiom said. “Our guys circled this date as soon as we got our sched-
ule,” Coach Silwa said. “It was nice to beat them today, I’m sure we’ll be in their heads.” The Chaps look to move on and take their frustration out as nationally ranked powerhouse, Oakton Community College visit the Chaps tomorrow at 2:00 p.m.

Within just 20 minutes, the Chaps capped four more goals led by a Harrington hat trick and another Lindberg strike. The Chaps entered halftime with a confident 5-0 lead. “Our defense is strong, we played a full game of great defense,” Lindberg said. “Defense creates offense and that resulted in all of our goals.” Switching positions is a key trait to the Lady Chaps. After halftime, Head Coach William Fajkus played around with the lineup and inserted defenders into forward spots, allowing them to gain experience on both sides. The switches resulted in many positives for the team.
By Josh Tolentino Sports Editor Motivation was the key to success for the Lady Chaps as they dominated Triton College last Wednesday, 9-0. The Lady Chaps constantly pushed the ball down the Trojan’s defense, coming up big with shots on goal. The Chaps had 20 shots on goal compared to the Trojan’s mere three shots on goal. “From the beginning we took away their motivation, took away their heart,” Coach William Fajkus said. Just seven minutes into the game, Team Captain and Midfielder Kierstyn Harrington set up Forward Margaret Lindberg with a cross. Lindberg blasted the ball past the Trojan goalie’s outstretched
Defenders Caraline Scally and Anne Dziak both scored multiple goals within the first 10 minutes of the second half to put the Chaps up 8-0. “It was nice getting some playing time on the other side of the ball,” Scally said. “I scored my first goal, and it felt pretty good.” Harrington sealed the Chaps victory with her fourth goal of the game as she scored off a free kick making the final score 9-0. “We had lots of intensity,” Harrington said. “I’m proud of my girls and we’re making a lot of progress and having fun.” The Lady Chaps play their next game at Joliet Junior College Wolves today at 4:00 p.m.
